Background technique
As general known, be supplied to the closure place of air quantity in being located at the inlet air pathway of this internal-combustion engine of internal-combustion engine to adjust.When closure was opened rapidly, its agitation air stream made this air form eddy current.This swirl airflow causes special noise (will be called " throttle inflow noise ") sometimes.Simultaneously, intake manifold constitutes a part of inlet air pathway, the known resin system intake manifold that adopts more and more now.Yet this resin system intake manifold makes above-mentioned throttle inflow noise be easy to propagate or emit to the outside inevitably.
For overcoming this problem, for example, known method is to provide net or plate adjusting the air stream in closure downstream in inlet air pathway, thus reduce throttle inflow noise.Yet owing to the resistance of air increase in the inlet air pathway, weight increase, manufacture cost raising etc., the method has the shortcoming that the internal-combustion engine output power reduces.Simultaneously, when for already mentioned former thereby when adopting resin system intake manifold, the method can not be enough reduce throttle inflow noise effectively.
Consider the problems referred to above, another kind of method has been proposed, it is limited in below the specific limited speed by the speed (will be called " throttle ramp rate ") that under specified criteria closure is unlocked, this closure is opened more lentamente come reduce throttle inflow noise (referring to the flat No.2001-98958 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open, No.2001-234758).For example, the flat No.2001-98958 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open propose when throttle opening can be with than low rate unlatching closure during less than a particular value.

Embodiment
Below, describe the throttle system that is used for internal-combustion engine according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is the diagrammatic sketch of structure that schematically shows the throttle system of this exemplary embodiment.With reference to Fig. 1, throttle system is provided with the closure 10 that is provided with along the inlet air pathway of internal-combustion engine.Pass through throttle body 11, surge tank (surge tank) and the intake manifold (both are all not shown in the back) of closure 10 via the air of unshowned air conduit suction inlet air pathway, and finally introduce each firing chamber.
Except that throttle body 11, closure 10 also comprises throttle motor 12 and throttle sensor 13.The axle of throttle body 11 connects with throttle motor 12, and throttle sensor 13 is located near the same axle.
Throttle motor 12 drives throttle body 11 and changes its aperture (will be called " throttle opening ").More specifically, the aperture of throttle body 11 is changed to adjust the sectional area of inlet air pathway, changes the flow that flows through air wherein thus.That is to say, change the air mass flow that is supplied to this internal-combustion engine like this.Throttle sensor 13 is measured the aperture (throttle) of throttle body 11.
Throttle system comprises the ECU (electronic control unit) 14 of the operation of controlling closure 10.ECU14 comprises the CPU that carries out various programs in order to control closure 10, the storage that stores these programs, each is to outer member output or receive the input and output communication mouth of various signals from outer member.
In this exemplary embodiment, except that throttle sensor 13, throttle system also comprises various other sensors, for example, the engine speed sensor 15 and being used to that is used to detect the rotating speed (internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE) of this internal-combustion engine detects the accelerator sensor 17 of the amount (accelerator operation amount ACCP) that accelerator 16 persons of being operated operate.These sensors all are connected with the input communication mouth of above-mentioned ECU14, so that ECU14 is from they received signals.On the other hand, the output communication mouth of ECU14 is connected with throttle motor 12, so that ECU14 control closure 10.
When work, ECU14 is based on calculating target throttle valve θ via the internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE of engine speed sensor 15 detections and the accelerator operation amount ACCP that detects via accelerator sensor 17.Then, ECU14 controls throttle motor 12, makes actual throttle consistent with the target throttle valve θ that calculates.In this exemplary embodiment, when throttle body 11 full cut-offs, throttle (that is, the corner of the throttle plate pin of throttle body 11) is 0 degree, and throttle is along with throttle body 11 rotates and increases from this operating position.
The present inventor carried out one with change the relevant research of throttle inflow noise that throttle opening caused, unless they find to satisfy some other conditions simultaneously, otherwise when throttle opening changes rapidly throttle inflow noise does not always appear.More specifically, open rapidly unless be lower than under the situation that a regulation rotating speed (internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE1) (condition A) and engine torque (engine torque TR) be lower than a regulation torque TR1 (condition B) throttle body 11, otherwise throttle inflow noise can not occur at internal-combustion engine rotational speed (internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE).
Fig. 2 is the chart that the appearance zone of the throttle inflow noise that has confirmed in research process is shown, and internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE and engine torque TR that this zone is detected when beginning to open throttle body 11 limit.In Fig. 2, the maximum value of the engine torque TR that curve WOT representative is relevant with internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE.
As conspicuous from chart, whether throttle inflow noise occurs depending on internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE when beginning to open throttle body 11 and the value of engine torque TR on a large scale.That is to say that unless closure is opened rapidly and above condition A, B is that internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE is lower than NE1 and engine torque TR and is lower than TR1 and satisfies, otherwise throttle inflow noise can not occur.
For example, the value of the engine torque TR that produces under the specific engine rotating speed function that can be used as throttle draws.Therefore, in this case, above-mentioned condition B can be revised as " throttle is less than predetermined aperture θ 1 " (condition B ').
Under the internal-combustion engine situation that in this exemplary embodiment, is adopted, according to result of study, when being lower than the internal-combustion engine rotational speed of 3000rpm (NE) and when down throttle body 11 is opened rapidly, throttle inflow noise occurring less than the throttle openings (θ) of 9 degree.
Fig. 3 is the chart of the relation between the throttle when being illustrated in when beginning to open throttle body 11 the internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE that detects and throttle inflow noise occurring when throttle body 11 is just being opened.In this chart, block curve representative the throttle of throttle inflow noise occurs when throttle body 11 when full close position is opened, and the dashed curve representative when throttle body 11 be the throttle that occurs throttle inflow noise when being in rapid unlatching under the situation of its CLV ceiling limit value in the scope that causes throttle inflow noise in engine torque (TR).
With reference to Fig. 3, unless throttle is positioned at particular range, even otherwise at above-mentioned condition A, throttle body 11 is opened under the situation that B all satisfies, and also the closure noise can not occur.That is to say that throttle inflow noise is only just occurring when lower limit aperture θ a changes to the scope of CLV ceiling limit value θ b when throttle, the scope of this throttle will be called " noise range " subsequently.In this exemplary embodiment, lower limit aperture θ a is 20 degree, and upper limit angle b is 30 degree.
As mentioned above, throttle inflow noise only just occurs under these specified conditions.Therefore, even the unlatching speed of throttle body 11 is restricted to the only limiting value when those conditions satisfy, also abundant noise-decreasing.By this strict restriction of throttle ramp rate, can avoid otherwise can be because the deterioration of the controllability of the internal-combustion engine output power that unnecessarily limits throttle ramp rate and caused.
Therefore, for avoiding this unnecessary restriction of throttle ramp rate, ECU14 is as described below to judge whether carry out the throttle ramp rate restriction.Below, carry out the control that is restricted to below the certain limit with unlatching speed ω by ECU14 and will be called " throttle ramp rate restriction " throttle body 11.At first, ECU14 decision condition a, whether b is satisfied.The internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE that condition a requires to detect when beginning to open throttle body 11 is less than the regulation internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE1 that for example is set to 3000rpm.The throttle that condition b requires to detect when beginning to open throttle body 11 is less than the regulation aperture θ 1 that for example is set to 9 degree.If arbitrary condition does not satisfy, ECU14 just forbids the throttle ramp rate restriction.
In addition, ECU14 judges also whether accelerator 16 operated modes require throttle body 11 to open rapidly.At this moment, ECU14 is with reference to the variation of accelerator operation amount ACCP.By this judgement, it knows whether throttle body 11 is required rapid unlatching.If not, ECU14 just forbids the throttle ramp rate restriction.
In this exemplary embodiment, ECU14 is by appreciation condition c, and d judges whether throttle body 11 is required rapid unlatching.Condition c requires target throttle angle of release Δ θ t to be higher than a regulation aperture Δ θ 1, and condition d requires target throttle unlatching speed ω t to be higher than a schedule speed ω 1.Target throttle angle of release Δ θ t is that throttle body 11 is required the aperture of opening, and this aperture is determined based on accelerator 16 operated modes.Equally, it is that throttle body 11 is required the speed of opening that target throttle is opened speed ω t, and this speed is also determined based on the same manner.Accelerator 16 operated modes can limit by increase or the increment rate of for example accelerator operation amount ACCP, and will be called " accelerator operation manner " in due course.
As previously mentioned, if the throttle that detects when beginning to open throttle body 11 is lower than a regulation aperture θ 1 (condition b), ECU14 does not carry out the throttle ramp rate restriction.Therewith together, when appreciation condition c, ECU14 judges whether target throttle valve θ t is higher than a regulation throttle 2 (=θ 1+ Δ θ 1).
Yet, unless throttle opening is positioned at above-mentioned noise range (θ a<θ<θ b), even otherwise the full up foot of above-mentioned condition, ECU14 does not carry out the throttle ramp rate restriction yet, promptly will not open speed ω and be restricted to a restriction unlatching speed ω 2.That is to say, if throttle beyond noise range, no matter ECU14 only opens throttle body 11 with the speed that accelerator operation manner requires, and condition a, b, whether c, d full up foot.Restriction is opened speed ω 2 and preferably is set in throttle inflow noise can be reduced to the scope of degree of admission big as much as possible.
The flow chart of Fig. 4 illustrates by ECU14 and carries out the exemplary process of whether carrying out the throttle ramp rate restriction to judge.ECU14 is with predetermined time interval repetition this program as subroutine.
With reference to Fig. 4, ECU14 at first judges that at step S100 whether target throttle valve θ t is greater than current throttle.This step judges whether throttle body 11 is required to open now.
If for not, if promptly require to close or keep throttle body 11, ECU14 is just in the control of step S140 continuation execution normal throttle, so that current throttle will be kept as needed or lower among the step S100.In this normal throttle control, ECU14 is only according to accelerator operation manner control throttle.
If among the step S100 for being, if promptly require to open throttle body 11 now, ECU14 with regard to execution in step S110-S130 checking each condition a, b, c, whether d satisfies.Here, whether step S110 judgement internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE is lower than a regulation rotational speed N E1, and (condition a), step S120 judges whether throttle is lower than a regulation aperture θ 1 (condition b), and step S130 judges that target that whether target throttle valve θ t is higher than a regulation aperture θ 2 (condition c) and throttle body 11 opens speed ω t and whether be higher than a schedule speed ω 1 (condition d).
If each in the above-mentioned condition do not satisfy, ECU14 just advances to step S140 to continue to carry out normal throttle control.On the contrary, when condition all satisfied, ECU14 just advanced to the throttle ramp rate restriction of step S150 to carry out as will describe subsequently.
The flow chart of Fig. 5 illustrates an exemplary process of throttle ramp rate restriction.With reference to Fig. 5, ECU14 at first judges that at step S200 the current throttle that detects via throttle sensor 13 is whether in noise range (θ a<θ<θ b).If for being, ECU14 just judges that target throttle opens speed ω t and whether be higher than restriction and open speed ω 2.
If ECU14 is judged to be "No" in above arbitrary step, it just advances to step S230 and throttle ramp rate ω is set at requirement opens speed ω t.On the contrary, if ECU14 is judged to be "Yes" in two steps, it just advances to step S220 and throttle ramp rate ω is set at restriction opens speed ω 2.
After setting throttle ramp rate ω as mentioned above, the temporary transient termination routine of ECU14 also drives throttle motor 12, and throttle body 11 is opened with the throttle ramp rate ω that sets thus.
Fig. 6 is the sequential chart of example that the operation of the air throttle control system that is used to be illustrated more clearly in this exemplary embodiment is shown.In this example, at first at time t1 operation accelerator 16, require throttle body 11 to open thus.
This example is lower than the time t1 that a regulation rotational speed N E1 (condition a satisfy) and throttle are lower than a regulation aperture θ 1 (condition b satisfies) from internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE.At first, according to satisfying above-mentioned condition c, the mode of d is at time t1 operation accelerator 16.
Subsequently, throttle is in response to increasing at time t2 since time t1 operation accelerator 16.At this moment, throttle is with the rate variation corresponding to accelerator operation manner.
Then, in response to the lower limit of throttle in time t3 arrival noise range, throttle ramp rate ω is restricted to restriction and opens speed ω 2.This restriction of throttle ramp rate ω lasts till that throttle surpasses the upper limit of noise range at time t4.
At time t4, throttle ramp rate ω increases with the speed corresponding to accelerator operation manner once more, keeps the throttle ramp rate ω of increase like this, arrives target throttle valve θ t until throttle at time t5.
The advantage that above-mentioned throttle system obtains is below described:
(1) owing to when internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE is higher than a regulation rotational speed N E1, forbid limiting throttle ramp rate ω, can when can not occurring, throttle inflow noise unnecessarily not limit throttle ramp rate ω.Therefore, can advantageously avoid throttle inflow noise, make the deterioration of the controllability of internal-combustion engine output power reduce to minimum simultaneously.
(2) owing to only be lower than a regulation rotational speed N E1 and throttle (promptly less than regulation aperture θ 1 at internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE, engine torque TR is little) time carry out the restriction of throttle ramp rate ω, this has strengthened the advantage of being avoided unnecessary restriction throttle ramp rate.
(3) also open speed ω and be lower than and forbid limiting throttle ramp rate ω when a regulation is opened speed ω 1 requiring closure angle of release Δ θ to be lower than a regulation aperture Δ θ 1 and target throttle.Like this, avoid restriction throttle ramp rate ω when throttle body 11 will slowly be opened and not have thus or almost not have throttle inflow noise to occur.This has further strengthened the effect of being avoided unnecessary restriction throttle ramp rate.
(4) in other words, unless throttle changes, otherwise also forbid limiting throttle ramp rate in noise range (θ a<θ<θ b).This has further strengthened the effect of being avoided unnecessary restriction throttle ramp rate.
Below, the modified example that some can be made the throttle system of above-mentioned exemplary embodiment is described.
(a) although ECU14 makes the judgement relevant with engine torque TR by the reference throttle in the step S120 of Fig. 4, ECU14 also can be with reference to other parameter relevant with engine torque TR.
(b) although ECU14 decisions making based on requiring closure angle of release Δ θ and target throttle to open speed ω t in the step S130 of Fig. 4, it also can adopt other parameter, whether is required rapid unlatching as long as can suitably judge throttle body 11.For example, increasing amount or the Magnification of accelerator operation amount ACCP or target throttle valve θ t can be used as this parameter.
(c) although ECU14 only just carries out the restriction of throttle ramp rate when throttle changes in noise range in program shown in Figure 5, also can adopt other to be used to carry out the condition of restriction.That is to say, if according to utilizing the definite specified conditions such as internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE that when beginning to open throttle body 11, detect to limit the execution of throttle ramp rate, also but reduce throttle inflow noise is avoided unnecessary restriction throttle ramp rate simultaneously.
(d) ECU14 can skip over the step S130 of Fig. 4.Even in this case, owing to forbid the throttle ramp rate restriction according to internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE and throttle as mentioned above, so still can advantageously avoid the unnecessary restriction of throttle ramp rate.
(e) ECU14 can skip over the step S120 of Fig. 4.Even in this case, owing to forbid the throttle ramp rate restriction according to internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE and rapid necessity of opening throttle body 11, so still can advantageously avoid the unnecessary restriction of throttle ramp rate.
(f) ECU14 can skip over above-mentioned two steps.Even in this case, owing to forbid the throttle ramp rate restriction according to internal-combustion engine rotational speed NE, so still can advantageously avoid the unnecessary restriction of throttle ramp rate.
(g) ECU14 can skip over whole procedure shown in Figure 4, and only carries out program shown in Figure 5.Even in this case, because unless throttle is in noise range otherwise forbid throttle ramp rate restriction, but so reduce throttle inflow noise still, the unnecessarily restriction throttle ramp rate of avoiding causing the controllability of internal-combustion engine output power to worsen simultaneously.
Although with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention it is illustrated, be understood that the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiment or structure.On the contrary, the present invention is intended to cover various distortion and the equivalent arrangements except that above-mentioned.In addition, although in exemplary various combination and structure, the various parts of preferred embodiment have been shown, comprise that other combinations more, still less or only single parts and structure are equally in essence of the present invention and scope.
